The production company she built with renowned Creative Director Peggy Olson is merging with 76BrandFilms. While analysts have described the move as an acquisition rather than merger, Joan is demonstrating her usual cool confidence.

“I can’t imagine a more exciting collective of creativity, storytelling and craft,” said former colleague and principal yogi of Bubble n’ Bliss day spa Don Draper.

Holloway-Harris has a track record of picking a winner. She won the first Oscar for an industrial film. The Academy added that category for her, along with the Client Wanted Viral lifetime achievement award.
